My children were out during the middle of the day so I was home alone. I took the opportunity to run some errands, clean the inside of my car and do some writing for both my blog and for Aspire, the magazine for which I write.

I wore these wedge sandals on Friday night when I went to the races and got a lot of lovely compliments both in real life and on social media but I realised when looking back at the photos that the ankle strap was hidden by my jeans. Today I rolled up my skinnies so the whole shoe could be seen.

I love all animal print but snake and leopard are my favourite and I do find they work as a neutral, co-ordinating with almost everything.

My scarf is a new addition to my accessories boutique (and is also available in blue). I chose this design because khaki is huge this season and I don’t have many neutral coloured scarves, nor any with such a large bold print. I love it and think it would be ideal to wear as a sarong over beachwear, given its generous size.

And I can hardly believe it, but tomorrow is my blog’s second birthday. I’ll be reflecting and thinking about how my life has changed over the last 12 months in tomorrow’s post.
